Which is a criminal offense and on top of getting charged for it, you end up losing the batteries to “evidence”

Tubes for Trampa urban treads, slightly larger but cheap.
This is only a good deal for those who only need tubes, and trampa charges a small fortune for delivery to their Country

easy to do for ground shipping interstate.
But for international and air shipping, they DO check.

Yea, anything that goes on a plane goes through xray, doesnt matter who sent it or how it just goes, and if there are batteries inside they get returned to you, atleast in my 3-4 instances.

I got some 60/70 cells from alliexpress twice then, (when i wasn’t warry enough about cell quality) and it got here even though we have really difficult policies for lithium batteries transportation and import.
Its different for cells alone, and cells in a pack 
Well i thought pack were worst, but i’m talking about cells.
And 70 18650 on a super thin carton box, that was looking and weighting super shady,
the mailman even told something half laughing about amo packs and illegal guns

Getting cells out of china isn’t that hard, they are not subject to the same regulations and by the time it makes it to your domestic soil they aren’t going to reload it on a plane back. Getting cells out of the USA/Europe is much more difficult. Complete boards is the easiest way, “lithium ion batteries contained in equipment” is not as heavily regulated as those alone in batteries or loose cells.

and aliexpress sellers that export batteries will have proper regulatory papers and approvals to do so.
Its just not practical for us, the “average joe”, to ship small quantities cross boarders anywhere due to all the red tape

They are good, especially for the price. the evolve tyres are nice too. I have he 6 and 7 inch ones and they last a while.The hubs with tyres might be a little unbalanced but nothing to worry about.And it can be arranged by adding some small weights to the hub.
6 pounds/hub is a very good price.

what pattern for mounting pulleys do they use?
are they the same as any other hub
Not 100% sure but i think they only fit evolve pulleys. You can use evolve pulleys on trampa superstars but not the other way around (.not 100% sure thiugh).
On thingiverse youll find some evolve pulleys, they seem to hold well if printed in petg. Didnt try other filaments.

Correction you can use board bumper pulleys on trampas. The evolve pulleys don’t have the needed cut outs to fit the 5stars properly.
I believe you can use the metroboard pulleys on the evolve hubs as well.
